This week I'm talking FPS titles; Wolfenstien, DOOM, Quake, all the classics and not so classics I have ever tried my hand at. I admit I'm not an FPS guy or a keyboard and mouse warrior, but there is good to be had here. Stop by for some talk about the games as I experienced them in the times I experienced them, and of course, my hot and cold takes on the genre as a whole and the games themselves.

There is a small but determined sub-sub-genre of games based on The Legend of Zelda named "Zelda-likes". Usually their own thing, a few have been fused with some of the Dark Souls game mechanics to form something altogether different and their own thing. On this episode I will be looking briefly at two of them: Tunic and Death's Door. Do the protagonists of these titles, a little fox in green and a little crow that reaps souls, have what it takes to overcome the impossible odds against them? Stop by for a listen and find out!

Ho there wanderer, stay thy course a moment and let me tell thee of yet another Dungeons and Dragons: Forgotten Realms set of game from over 20 years ago. On this episode I discuss my time with and thoughts on the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance titles, side stories to the more well-known entries in the hallowed halls of CRPG royalty. Do the heroes of these hack and slash ARPGs have what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with their more popularized and overly dramatic counterparts, or if this the kind of campaign that fizzles out after a few sessions? You'll only get to find out if you stay and listen!

Were you aware that Cyberpunk 2077 was not the only cyberpunk-theme tabletop role-playing game that was turned into a video game? On this episode I talk about my time with the odd Shadowrun Returns trilogy of games. Get ready for a somewhat different type of cyberpunk, where elves jack in to the Internet as digital holograms to do real world battle and shamans turn natures spirits against the technocracy around them.

On this episode I will be taking a short look at the games revolving around The Evil Dead cinematic universe and offering my thoughts on these titles as a fan of the movies. What are they exactly? Are they even any good? Were you even aware there were games based on a B-movie horror franchise starring the most well-known B-movie actor of our time? I'm here to talk just that, so grab your chainsaw and shotgun and let's see if we can clean up the streets and woods of Dearborn, Michigan once again. Groovy!

Like anyone who has had one too many drinks at a dive bar can tell you, at some point the rowdy folks get tossed out to brawl in the parking lot. And a lot of arcade and home console videogames have reflected that "spirit" of competition. On this episode I wax nostalgic about all the fighting games I have played over the years, at least one I didn't do an entire individual episode on. This list is hardly exhaustive, but did your favorite make the cut? Stop by for a listen; I have a few stories to tell you.

Sometimes a studio becomes a massive developer churning out dozens of famous titles. Other time a studio remains small, making a name for itself with smaller titles, cozy puzzles, and mid-level role playing games. That is where Level-5, Inc., has found itself in the current gaming sphere and was where I was introduced to them. On this episode I talk about the early titles of theirs that I played, their impression on me, and where they left me all within the life cycle of the PlayStation 2. Come by and let's relive the early days of Level-5.

The tree of survival horror in games has borne many a twisted, dark and delectable fruit, but not all of them are for me. The what I call run and hide horror game is one of those subgenres. You know, the kind where you cannot fight, but must only flee, usually in first person view, while looking for a cabinet to hide in. In this review I discuss my time with Amnesia: the Dark Descent and Outlast, and why I had an adverse reaction to these games unlike the many fans out there of scary survival sims.
